Description
- The invention relates to an open roof construction according to the preamble of
independent claims US 2010/066130 A1 . - The area inside the seal also is referred to as dry area and is protected by the seal against environmental influences, such as rain water. The area outside of the seal, however, will be subjected to such influences. Generally, the important parts of mechanisms, especially moving parts, will be located in the dry area. Thus, drive mechanisms for such moving parts also can be positioned in said dry area. However, certain parts of an open roof construction must (partly or entirely) be positioned in the wet area. When such parts define a movable element (for example a wind deflector which can move between retracted and extended positions), a problem arises when providing a drive mechanism therefore. Directly positioning the drive source (such as an electric motor) for such a drive mechanism in the wet area is not possible because of the negative effect of the environmental influences on such a drive source. Positioning such a drive source in the dry area would solve that problem, but then the operational coupling between such a drive source and the drive mechanism of said movable element would have to pass the seal. This, however, would lead to a local disruption of the seal or would require rather complicated technical measures assuring a passage of the seal without detrimentally influencing the proper sealing function thereof.
- In view of the above it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved open roof construction of the above type.
- Thus in accordance with the present invention the open roof construction is characterised as set forth in
independent claims - In accordance with the present invention the panel is used as a means to transfer a driving force from a drive source positioned in the dry area (for example a drive source for the mechanism provided at the first panel part) towards the drive mechanism of the movable element which is located in the wet area. The seal remains unaffected and fully functional.
- In one independent embodiment only one of said front and rear mechanisms is provided at the first panel part, whereas the other of said front and rear mechanisms is provided at the second panel part and defines the at least one drive member.
- This means that the mechanism provided at the second panel part (and thus in the wet area) serves two functions: firstly determining (part of) the movement of the panel (together with the other mechanism positioned in the dry area) and, secondly, providing a means (drive member) for transmitting a drive force to the drive mechanism of the movable member. In such an embodiment the operational coupling between said other of said front and rear mechanism and the drive mechanism of the movable element further comprises a counter tab engageable by said other of said front and rear mechanism and connected to the drive mechanism by a coupling member.
- It is possible, then, that the front mechanism is provided at the first panel part or that the rear mechanism is provided at the first panel part. This will depend on the specific construction and type of the open roof construction (for example whether or not the panel is a top sliding panel).
- In another independent embodiment of the open roof construction according to the present invention both said front and rear mechanisms are provided at the first panel part and the at least one drive member is a separate part.
- In such an embodiment, therefore, none of the mechanisms serves two functions as explained above, but both only are provided for moving and guiding the panel. The specific details of such mechanisms may depend on the required movement of the panel, and have no bearing on this invention and thus are not in detail discussed here. It is just noted, that such (front and/or rear) mechanisms may have a rather complicated design with a number of parts moving relative to each other (such as, for example, tilting levers, operating slides and guide pin-and-guide slot assemblies), but also may have a very simple design with very few parts (for example only a slide shoe or alike cooperating with a guide rail). All these mechanisms are meant to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
- In said embodiment the at least one drive member comprises a tab attached to the second panel part. In said embodiment the tab is a separate part which is used for activating the drive member.
- In said embodiment the operational coupling between the tab and the drive mechanism of the movable element further comprises a counter tab engageable by the tab and connected to the drive mechanism by a coupling member. Thus a movement of the panel leads to an engagement between the tab and counter tab for driving the latter. In the initial position (panel in the closing position) a gap between the tab and counter tab may be present, such that the panel first should move to bridge said gap before the tab engages the
counter tab and the movable member is driven by the counter tab (via the drive mechanism). - The coupling member may be an elongate member, such as a rod, belt, push-and-pull cable or alike. Such elongate members are known per se and have a wide spread use on the field of open roof constructions with proven reliability.
- In a specific embodiment of the open roof construction according to the present invention, the movable element is a wind deflector. Such a wind deflector may be of a known design, for example comprising a transverse wind deflecting element carried at its opposite ends by two pivot arms which then form part of the drive mechanism.
- In another embodiment at least one of said front and rear mechanisms comprises a sliding and tilting lever movable along a stationary guide and driven by a drive assembly.
- In yet another preferred embodiment of the open roof construction the roof opening is substantially rectangular having opposite side edges and opposite forward and rearward edges, wherein the seal likewise extends substantially in a rectangular shape having opposite side seal parts and opposite forward and rearward seal parts, and wherein the drive member is provided at a part of the second panel part located, as seen in a top plan view, between a side edge of the roof opening and a corresponding side seal part. It is noted however that it is also possible that the drive member is provided at a part of the second panel part between a forward (or rearward) seal part and corresponding forward (or rearward) edge of the roof opening (although such an embodiment generally will be less favourable).
- When the open roof construction is provided with two drive members at opposite sides of the roof, symmetrical forces may be generated causing a minimal amount of distortion of the constitutive parts, leading to less friction, reduced wear and a smaller power demand for drive sources, such as electric motors.
- Hereinafter the invention will be elucidated while referring to the drawing, in which:
-
Figure 1 schematically illustrates a top plan view of a first embodiment of the open roof construction according to the present invention, with the panel in its closing position; -
Figure 2 schematically shows a cross section according to II-II infigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 schematically shows a cross section according to III-III infigure 1 , and -
Figure 4 schematically illustrates a partial top plan view of a second embodiment of the open roof construction according to the present invention, with the panel in its closing position. - Referring to
figures 1-3 a first embodiment of the open roof construction for a vehicle according to the present invention is shown. It comprises a roof opening 1 in a stationary roof part 2 (infigure 1 the forward direction of the vehicle is directed downwards). In the illustrated embodiment the roof opening is substantially rectangular having opposite side edges 3,4 and opposite forward andrearward edges side seal parts 8,9 and opposite forward and rearwardseal parts - The area inside of the
seal 7 is sometimes referred to as dry area, whereas the area between the seal parts and corresponding edges of the roof opening (e.g. between side edge 3 and side seal part 8) is referred to as wet area. In said wet area generally awater collecting gutter 12 is provided extending along the roof opening 1 and connecting theseal 7 with thestationary roof part 2. - The open roof construction further comprises a
panel 13 movable between a closing and opening position for closing and opening, respectively, said roof opening 1. In the figures thepanel 13 only has been illustrated in its closing position. Thepanel 13 comprises a first panel part (or parts) which both in the closing and opening positions (and any intermediate position) is (are) positioned inside theseal 7, as seen in a top plan view. Such first panel part, for example, will comprise a forward region of thepanel 13 inside of theseal 7. Likewise the panel comprises a second panel part (or parts) which both in the closing and opening positions (and any intermediate position) is (are) positioned outside theseal 7. Such second panel part, for example, comprises two side regions of thepanel 13 outwardly from theseal 7. - The
panel 13 further comprises front andrear mechanisms front mechanism 14 is provided at said first panel part and comprises a stationary guide 14' and amovable member 14" (for example lever) connecting thepanel 13 in a movable manner with the guide 14' (as is known per se). A drive member 16 (for example push-pull cable) is provided for driving themember 14". - In the illustrated embodiment the
rear mechanism 15 comprises a guide 15' attached to thepanel 13 and amember 15" (for example lever) connecting thepanel 13 with the remainder of the vehicle (for example with the stationary roof part 2). - In a manner known per se the
member 14" is driven bydrive member 16 for a movement along and with respect to the guide 14' (which movement, for example, may comprise any combination of a rotation and a translation) thus causing a movement of thepanel 13. Said movement of thepanel 13 further will be defined by the relative movement betweenmember 15" and corresponding guide 15'. - The open roof construction further comprises a movable element 17 (here a wind deflector with two pivot arms 18) positioned outside the
seal 7 and having a drive mechanism (comprising said pivot arms 18). - The second panel part at locations, as seen in a top plan view, between a side edge 3,4 of the
roof opening 1 and a correspondingside seal part 8,9, is provided with two drive members 19 (here tabs connected to the panel 13) which are operatively coupled to the drive mechanism (pivot arms 18) of themovable element 17. Specifically, such an operational coupling between the drive members (or tabs) 19 and the drive mechanism (or pivot arms) 18 of the movable element (or wind deflector) 17 further comprises twocounter tabs 20 engageable by thetabs 19 and connected to thedrive mechanisms 18 by coupling members 21 (for example each comprising an elongate member, such as a rod, belt, push-and-pull cable or alike). Saidcounter tabs 20 are movable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (for example along a stationary guide -not illustrated-). - When the
panel 13 moves from the closed towards an open position (for example to the right infigure 3 ), eachtab 19 will engage acorresponding counter tab 20 and will take it along, thus (via thecoupling member 21 and pivot arm 18) driving themovable element 17. The counter tab 20 (or couplingmember 21 or any part of the drive mechanism/pivot arm 18) of the movable element may be spring loaded, such that thecounter tab 20 will assume a start position when not engaged by thetab 19. There further may be a delay between the start of the movement of thepanel 13 and the moment of thetab 19 engaging the counter tab 20 (the magnitude of such a delay, for example, may depend from the gap between the tab and counter tab in the closed position of the panel). - A drive force transmitted to the front mechanism 14 (located in the dry area) through the
drive member 16 thus also reaches the movable element 17 (located in the wet area) without the need of providing a connection which has to pass (and interrupt) theseal 7. Thepanel 13 is used for transferring said drive force from the dry area towards the wet area. - Whereas in
figures 1-3 bothmechanisms figure 4 partly illustrates an alternative embodiment in which only saidfront mechanism 14 is provided at the first panel part (inside the seal 7), whereas therear mechanism 15 is provided at the second panel part (outside the seal 7) and (part thereof) defines the drive member which, again, is connected to themovable member 17 through acounter tab 20 andcoupling member 21. In such an embodiment a separate drive member is not present because therear drive mechanism 15 acts as such. Of course the functions of the front and rear mechanisms may be switched. - The invention is not limited to the embodiments described before which may be varied widely within the scope of the invention as defined by the appending claims.
